Having petted one it strikes me as a terrible idea

His human said he was friendly and I could pet him and he didn’t warn me that Gary stinks

I have been so lucky to have had absolutely fantastic mentorship from many senior academics in my short career, and great colleagues. But it’s also not uncommon to have seen how the pressures of academia bring out the worst of some people and how the culture can enable and encourage that

Would you be keen and willing to share your CV? If it’s not too forward to ask!

Older people can get jobs in a tech startup. I was 48 when I got my job in my first start up and 51 when I got my job in my 2nd . Academics have a huge amount of transferable skills , it’s all about how you present them in both your CVs and at interview

Thanks so much for posting this. I am thinking of my next steps and I think my next job is not in academia. I don’t think the culture is good for me, and I think working for a smaller company would be nice. I don’t want to feel like a cog.

They usually really go for the grass, and when they saw me approach they ran toward the fence. I think I served them a great disappointment. I’d like to think they’re still talking about it today.

And if any of you are wondering why I pet a skunk, it’s fair to say I didn’t think it through. Now having said that, I’d do it again.

So yesterday I pet this skunk called Gary and then I wanted to feed some llamas but the llamas were so disgusted by the way my hands smelled they refused to let me feed them. The attached photos are relevant.

Can’t even order a passport because to do so I need my naturalisation certificate which PIP people lost, then found, and have held onto since September. So no leaving the country for the foreseeable future for me. There goes my conference travel plans.

Journalists slain at record level in 2025, majority by Israel, watchdog says An increasing number of journalists were killed by drones, the Committee to Protect Journalists said. The IDF said it “strongly rejects” the group’s findings.

Last year was the deadliest on record for journalists.

For the third year in a row, Israel killed more journalists and media workers than any other country amid the war in Gaza, according to a report released by the Committee to Protect Journalists.

Toisaalta (ja sori tää saattaa mennä saivartelusta) rikastuminen tarkoittaa eri ihmisille eri asioita. Koen, että kasvoin rikkaassa kodissa: lomailimme vuosittain ja ruokakaupassa saatiin ostaa mitä haluttiin ilman, että hintaa piti miettiä. Siihen voi yltää palkansaajanakin.

If I moved out of uk it would be more expensive for me to visit the country each year than it would be if I weren’t a Uk citizen.

How are UK passport rules changing for British dual nationals? Entry requirements to the UK for dual nationals are being overhauled as part of sweeping changes to the immigration system.

The new requirement of a uk passport for dual citizens to enter the UK is an absolute mess. Literally no one I’ve mentioned this to knew this was happening, it’s effective as of today, and I learnt about it from Instagram. Why does Uk treat dual citizens like this?

Thank you. I’ve just been sleeping so far which isn’t the worst except it’s hard to stay hydrated if you’re not awake.
